The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is not classified as a national service program in the same way as organizations like AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps. Instead, it is a youth organization focused on character development, leadership skills, and outdoor activities. While it promotes community service and civic engagement among its members, its primary mission is to provide a structured program for youth development rather than to serve as a national service initiative.
